Nowadays, owners are more concerned about the health and well-being of their pets. Several benefits of dietary supplements are impelling the growth of the market.

Hence, several health benefits associated with pets have increased their adoption across the globe in recent years.

These QR codes give deep knowledge regarding the ingredients and suitability of the product. For instance, in 2018, Pet Releaf added QR codes to all of its product packaging. These QR codes link directly to the company’s page and give detailed information about the components used in products. It also proves no harmful chemicals and toxic solvents were used in supplements. Due to increasing penetration of smartphones and growing internet retailing, consumers are majorly comfortable with online shopping. Easy availability of supplements through offline and online distribution channels will boost the market growth in the coming years. However, lack of standardization of ingredients may hinder the growth of the pet supplements market.
Nonetheless, brand value enhancement by major market players in the emerging countries, such as China, India, and Brazil, and customer preferences for premium products are driving the market. Major players operating in this market are investing in raising product awareness to strengthen the consumer preference by increasing marketing expenditure and campaigns in developing countries, which will positively impact the overall market growth. For instance, in 2016, PetSmart improved its customer experience with deep insights through Omni channel and online sales channels. These insights will help the company to enhance the customer experience across varied areas, including product and service innovation as well as customer communications and loyalty. Cognizant empowered PetSmart with better decision making by integrating operational store, campaign, and other data.
Asia Pacific is estimated to exhibit the highest CAGR of 7.9% over the forecast period owing to increasing urbanization, growing trend of nuclear families, and changing perception towards animals, thereby resulting in increased pet adoption rates in emerging countries. In India, dogs are more popular than cats, birds, and horses. Dog supplements will account for a significant market share in the forthcoming years.
Implementation of several marketing strategies by market players, such as partnerships and acquisitions, will proliferate the growth of this market. For instance, in 2019, Dane Creek Capital Corp. acquired RawPaw Supplements for dogs and cats.
